Brad Cloven Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 <p>A few old cars showed up at the Tacoma Dome (WA) for some guys occasional club meeting. I was riding by on my bike with the Retina loaded up with TMAX, and rolled around on the grass to get the following. Enjoy!<br> I'll post by car type, beginning with the Chevy Bel Air:<br> <img src="https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/t31.0-8/12028769_10203812999520409_5536986239287835266_o.jpg" alt="" width="1358" height="2048" /><br> x<br> <img src="https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/t31.0-8/12189235_10203812999440407_7374015348906772553_o.jpg" alt="" width="2048" height="1358" /><br> x<br> <img src="https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/t31.0-8/12188244_10203812999160400_4837453389710323317_o.jpg" alt="" /><br> x<br> <img src="https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/t31.0-8/12191117_10203812999280403_4550019257790100805_o.jpg" alt="" width="2048" height="1358" /><br> x</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_schuster Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 <p>Wow. Fantastic images, Brad! <br> All great, but I especially love the first Bel Air image, and the second Buick Eight one (the wheel). Great work.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony_lockerbie Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 <p>Yes, you can't beat shiny cars pics with B&W film, and you have a great selection here Brad, especially love the first pic. Your Retina does a classy job, and I do like those low angles, very interesting.<br> I like to get low too, but it's not a good look when I try to get back up :) Thanks for the post.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 <p>Born for B&W... As <strong>Tony</strong> noted, gleaming paintwork and chrome just translate so well into monochrome, and your dramatic viewpoints in combination with your strong sense of composition have created a great series. There's just so <em>much</em> to photograph on a classic car... A very enjoyable post, many thanks, <strong>Brad</strong>.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wouter Willemse Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 <p>The chrome does look fantastic in these scans - really nice work, both esthetically and technically.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James G. Dainis Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Great shots. You could post some on the daily 365 threat rather than waiting for the weekend threads. And please resize your photos to 700 pixels on the longest side before posting them. James G. Dainis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argenticien Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 <p>I'm late to the thread, but that's great work, Brad! Good job photographing these cars with the Retina from about the same period. You've managed to compose these well while excluding stray humans (other than reflected ones). At car shows it can be challenging to balance those two competing priorities.<br> There's something just photographically irresistible about a Bel Air fin, isn't there? A few years ago, I made a picture that is almost exactly the mirror image of your first one<em>. </em>(By mirror image, I mean the fin on the other side of the car, obviously not a vertically inverted Bel Air! I was about to write, "on the passenger side of the car," but then remembered how many readers we have here from right-hand drive countries, so that wasn't going to be helpful.)<br> <em>--Dave</em></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luis_vernon1 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 <p>Brad:<br> Fantastic grab shots! Great job with a vintage 50's Kodak and TMAX400 which is also my B&W film of choice for both travel and portrait photography...I love the stand out quality of the chrome bumpers and trim...<br> Just got back from Italy...I didn't shoot any B&W and regret not doing so. I was driving around Tuscany and Umbria i.e between Florence and Perugia and now see that the medieval buildings would have been captured beautifully with TMAX 400 or 100..</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
